Traditionally, as long as the Senator can be gotten on the floor, the Senator’s staff carry on.

Exactly right. This happens with Supreme Court Justices too. As long as they can move their head a little bit, their aides do the tasks required.

The Senate would seem unlikely to expel a member in this situation. If he's not conscious at all and can't be propped up on the floor, he'll just be "Not Voting" on a lot of stuff.

James Inhofe is the next Senate Armed Services Committee Chair, a great improvement over McCain.

There’s no controlling legal authority that can remove him.
